Yeah, it is back. Those three words can be dreaded at times, but here knowing that the yearly SelfV event is back, the same words can put a smile across your face.

Rather than saying SelfV 2016 kicked off, we should say it Vroomed on the silent Sunday morning on the roads of Bangalore when Ducati Bikers showed their solidarity for fight against Cancer on 2nd October. For past two years we have watched hundreds of self-made videos of people who have overcome cancer, sharing their stories in open.

Last year, when I felt my heart was beating faster than
normal, I never knew it was something called tachycardia which can seriously
disrupt normal heart function, increase the risk of stroke, or cause sudden
cardiac arrest or death. I assumed it must be due to stress or something
similar until my heart was beating rate of more than 220 per minute and I had
to call an ambulance.

We were
without a cable or dish TV connection for more than 1 and ½ decades. Yeah, my
children grew up not watching TV and they are fine, even though I assure you
that it was not an experiment conducted on them so see if children can actually
live without TV or not. It was just that I felt we were watching TV whenever we
are bored without using the time for some creative activity or outdoor games. So,
out went the TV from our lives and in came computers.

“My counselor did not criticize me like
others; she was the only one to support me in my most important decision of
life.”

Where it started?

Jamie, a 27 years old transgender from
France was on the hospital bed, scared and perplexed. He was going to get
operated in a few hours. It was the life changing operation. He was about to
undergo a gender transference surgery and was missing his close ones.

One of the hundreds of loving moments which makes life worth living...

When I was thoroughly enjoying Sidney Sheldon’s ‘Tell Me Your Dreams’, I was intrigued by the multiple personalities of Ashley Paterson. It was unbelievable that a person could have a diverse personality inside their psyche, that was until my own alternate personality took over me. My alternate personality was called ‘Maa’ and it was completely opposite of what I was. The advantage I had over Ashley was that, I was aware of both the sides of these personalities and could interact with them. I am spared the mystery at least! Whew.
